Just when I thought games couldn't get anymore silly this game comes out. This let's me know that there are no limits for video game production and creation. Every theme and genre gets touched. There's something for everyone. Whether you like cool games or just plain fun silly ones there is one game for every gamer at heart.
I had a co-worker, who I used to work with at my old job, tell me about this game but I just couldn't believe it. I thought why would anybody make a character out of meat. It was funny at the time to just think about it. Now I see that its for real its still funny to me.
Although the game sounds funny its actually doing really well amongst the gaming public. It debuted on Xbox Live last year selling around 200,000 copies to date. The it was sold to PC users to the tune of 400,000 copies. Its funny how the simplest games come out to be the most popular sometimes. That kind of reminds me of how Shadow Complex was so popular a couple of years back.
Well the game is about Meat Boy. His girlfriend, Meat Girl, is taken away from him and he has to go through the motions to save here. Your typical damsel in distress and hero saves the day type of game. Just like Mario saves Princess Toadstool or Link saving Princess Zelda, Meat Boy is the protagonist to the rescue. The game takes several themes from other games like Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter 2, and Super Mario. The game looks very fun to play. It looks simple but plays very complex. I might have to download this myself and try it out. Here's a review from IGN.
